Located in Malibu, California, 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles, Pepperdine University
provides graduate students access to a robust academic experience, a vibrant city,
and an array of valuable resources.

"I chose Pepperdine because of the incorporation of ethics into the curriculum. Very
few programs actually go beyond the pure numbers of policy and go into how they can
affect others and really make you think about the reaosns you are trying to change
policy and how."

"I chose Pepperdine based on the mission: where students are strengthened for lives
of purpose, service, and leadership. The School of Public Policy will allow me to
individually grow as a leader, as well as prepare for a future career in the policy
field."
